Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today while I share with you this new around the house happenings! I do a bit of cleaning and food prep! AND I am finally getting back into it - and by it I mean life. I am getting a little routine going of doing a little something for myself' gym time. It feels so nice! Thanks for being here while I'm slowly coming back to life. I organized under my kitchen sink, cleaned it a bit, anddid some laundry. Just typical stuff that happens around the house on a normal day! That's mom life!
Best,
Kim!

To answer your question: Watch AND listen! I really really appreciate that you don't use too much music, and you don't stand there and do those "10 ways to do this" talks. It just feels like we're hanging out! Really helps me to get my mom stuff done 'round here and not feel like I'm the only one!
This! And same🙌
I nearly spat my coffee out when you said happy people don’t shoot their husbands 😂
Yeah that made me laugh too...I knew exactly where it was from before she said it
“Well, now my socks are wet.”
Kim, you are the laugh and sarcasm that we truly need to get us moms thru the day. Thank you for just being you woman!!
I'm so happy to see your joy coming back! I've been thinking about you and praying for you. I know we don't know each other but as a mama who struggled postpartum I was so thankful when my joy came back! Doing something for yourself is so important, I also love going to the gym. It's my happy place!
I appreciate your honesty with getting back into your life after Wolfgang. Struggling with number 6 feeling back to myself and getting my life together. Feeling hopeless I’ll ever get back to the gym and feel like me.
Oh I LOVE KIM! Works out in the morning but still eats her REESES!!!
Adorable! Little Wolfgang on the floor looking up at mommy and smiling while she talks to the camera.
Kim run you towels thru the wash cycle with a cup of white vinegar then do a regular wash !❣
Yes, I was actually going to suggest that!!
Yes! I put a cup in every load and my laundry never smells.
The vinegar doesn't smell up the towels ? Lol vinger makes me think of easter eggs
@@mistyowings5579 No ma'am when you do this your towel will also absorb water better❣
@@mistyowings5579 they sometimes have a hint of vinegar but they “feel” so clean, plus side the vinegar also helps keep the washing machine clean!!
Here we go party people it’s Kim and the party has started 🎉🎉
Neighbor’s party woke me up but I’ll be more than happy to focus on this one.. woo hoo! ☕️
WOOP WOOP 😉
I used to work in a plant place and the way you tell if your tree needs watering because trees are different than houseplants you picked the whole pot up and if it's like you water that tree like a gal worth of water out of water the tree and then you'll pick it up and see how full it feels then you know it's good then let it go until you pick up tree up and it's light again then water it with a whole nother gal but just sprinkling water on top because you live in Florida all that's going to do is evaporate before it hits the roots and your tree will dry out so just do that remember that pick up the whole pot if it's like water in a gallon and then the next wait just wait until it's light again like that Grand Las Vegas Stella love your show love your
“Lazy” is definitely not a word I would use to describe you!! Girl you are the epitome of motivation and energy. 💕
Good Morning Friends! Nothing like an inspirational clean with me to clean along with Kim on a Saturday 💚
You look amazing! It’s unbelievable that you had a child just yesterday! 🎉🎉🎉
Kim, I've been having a bit of a hard time lately. But I swear every video I watch of you makes me feel so good. You are so much fun to watch. Plus the food prep and the reality of life just makes your videos the place to be. Lol. ❤❤❤
I hope things start looking up and getting better for you soon Kathy 💞 You are in a great place. Kim is definitely the perfect one to watch for some feel good therapy!!
@@emilyb5106 that's very kind of you Emily. Thank you so much. ❤
Hope you start feeling better soon
You are a bundle of energy !! The gym, cleaning taking care of Wolfgang, prep breakfast laundry !!!!!
Five children you are so appreciated ❤
Put your seedlings in a casserole dish and water them from the bottom, if those brown cups are absorbent or have holes in the bottom. Helps grow strong roots and stays damp longer
I totally feel you about having a baby who doesn't seem to sleep and only wants to be held. With my second (who's now 24) I felt like I was constantly nursing and constantly holding. With my first and third (now 26 and 21) I spent every night in a rocking chair because it felt like they never slept. It's funny how in the moment I was so tired, but now I mostly just remember the cuddles...and I sometimes wish I could relive those moments because grown up kids don't cuddle. 🤣 Anyway, you're doing great and I find you so inspiring! 💕
Wolfgang is so cute! And that was adorable when Alex just randomly came in and danced with you 😊❤️
It is not unacceptable it’s being a mom and a great one. I have two kids and it’s a constant upkeep. Having five and keeping your house as great as that proves you are the woman across the room. Great Job, Kim. 😊 I’ve also been using my hospital mug (bought three of them) since I was pregnant with my first and it’s been three years. It’s all I use!
Kim: “and I just put it right here because I don’t give a crrrrrap”.
I haven’t snort laughed in SO long. Kim, you are the best 😂
Oh melt my heart! Alex coming in laundry room and hugging and dancing with you. So perfect!
This makes me feel a little more normal. Our babies were born on the same day and we are also in the throws of 4 month sleep regression, tried to put her down about 7 times last night and just wouldn’t take 😩. I’m really encouraged to see you made time for the gym, time for yourself! Thanks for being the woman across the room today.
Good morning wadsquad ! Hope you all are having a great weekend so far ! Kim thank u as always for putting a little happy in our day ❤
It's a perfect day. Nothing's standing in Kim's way! Slept in, checked for important message and got my Kim fix. Hydrated and happy. Thanks Kim, rock on. Be blessed, Wads fam and friends. YOU are IMPORTANT and LOVED! xoxo
Wow girl u been busy.. love ur videos.. I love watching while I get ready.. I swear this may be weird but u have taught me so much like cooking eating healthy the timer for 20 min to clean how how to be a good mom. Thank u so much Kim. I always wanted an needed a mom like u
1. You see the one seedling growing and leaning towards the sun- turn it around and it will start growing toward the sun again and start standing up!
2. Putting the boiled eggs in a cup and shaking it, the shell peels right off since it breaks it all up!
3. Wolfgang. Is. SOO. Dang. CAYUUUTE!!😍
I watch a little and listen a lot. My apartment is cleaned thanks to you. I love, love, love your babble and it makes me cackle while I clean. Don't stop.
Thank you for blurring people's faces in the background. I despiiiiseee being in people's videos or pictures. If someone just blurred my face, I would never care! Super thoughtful of you!
Hanging in my laundry room is a poem, that also hung in my house growing up that reads:
“Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow… for babies grow up, we’ve learned to our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs… dust go to sleep… I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep!” ❤
It makes me so happy to see you prioritizing yourself!! Gym, meal prep, it’s amazing 👏🏼👏🏼

Hey Kim
1. Love the maxi dress, it looks beautiful on you (you look beautiful already)
2. Please continue to share your workout bits, it's inspiring to see what other people do to keep active (I'm a weights machine fan myself)
3. I totally put your clean with me's on a shelf to glance at while I either get ready in the morning or listen to you as I prepare dinner. It feels like I have my friend sat in my kitchen chatting away with me.
Thanks for sharing. Love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Tips for laundry and especially towels. Sort. By. Texture.
Wash towels and heavy stuff together. Light and thin stuff together. Jordan Page has the greatest laundry video EVER!
I watch and listen, but I love to hear you chatting when I walk away to do my chores. I live alone and it's nice to listen. ; )
I don’t know how the heck you put out so much content and do everything else you need to do in a day! You are so amazing Kim!! LOVE that you’re getting back in the gym, and taking back a little time just for you. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So glad I found Kim when I did, she really brings happiness in my life and the motivation to get through my days! Thank you Kim🥲
I can never get enough of your videos. You talked about how long this one is. It didn’t even realize until the end. And I always say “not the end already!” I guess I think you have nothing else to do but talk to us all day 😂 Thanks for putting a little happy in my day. Have a good weekend 😘
I live in Arizona and I learned not to grow anything in the summer. And last fall I planted tomatoes , purple basil, oregano, cilantro and catnip in my greenhouse. Success! I’ve had Tomatoes since the fall. The cherry tomatoes are still producing. And outside in my raised bed I have broccoli growing. Last summer everything died due to the extreme heat. Wishing you the best of luck.
Hey Kim! To answer your question, I LOVE to actually watch your videos, but often I listen to them while cleaning/organizing. I tend to save your videos to watch/listen to all of the new ones on Saturday or Sunday. The ones I make sure to watch are cooking/cleaning. Shop with me’s I love to listen to your banter, but I don’t necessarily watch, unless you say something that really grabs my attention. You keep me company and make me laugh while I’m taking care of things around the house. Thank you!
My brother passed away yesterday and waking up this morning to your video in my subscription box made me smile, thank you. You could talk about paint drying or cutting the grass with scissors and I would watch, every time. Thank you for all you do, Kim. Happy Weekend my friend. 🤍🫶🏻
I'm so sorry! Hugs!!
I'm so sorry for loss. I'll be praying for you and your family.
I love bodypump! It's my favorite!
I know this is like a year ago, but the waking back up from having a baby/newborn is sooooo real. I remember that. My youngest is 6 and I'm still feeling moments of freedom coming back.
Dear Kim,
One Tipp for you for gardening: it is better to water plants in the early morning (befor the sun goes up) or at the evening (after the sun went down). The plants can dry out after watering them in the sun.
Greetings from the cold Germany.
I’m so happy to see you back at the gym, I know you love that time for yourself. Good for you!!
“I think you know what I am trying to say but I just can’t say it, and that’s why we are friends.” Yes, exactly!
I haven't seen you so energized and ready to go in a while! 😍
I always WATCH your videos. Every single one! And unfortunately, nobody's cleaning videos actually give me the motivation to do it also. Like the deep cleaning. I just do it when I feel ready! Lol
Kim, for your seeds, put them on a old baking pan and water the pan and water the seeds, the cups should be wetter. Beautiful job though! Your getting there! Also your towels, put some vinegar in the wash. God bless! ❤❤
Kim you are doing great with your seeds. A tip though to help keep them watered is put them in a tray kind of like a casserole dish shape and then water them by filling the tray up. Those degradable seed starting cups are great, but also soak up all the water from the plant, so letting them just sit in water helps a lot.
Kim! Sometimes you have to have more than one fruit tree in order for your tree to produce fruit. There are some trees that will produce fruit on their own without cross-pollination, but even then when you have more than one there will be more fruit!
Hi Kim! 💪🏼 Happy you made it back to the gym & are feeling better! Your energy level is crazy awesome & contagious, thankfully!❤So time for me to get busy after getting a daily dose of Happy! Hope you have a great Super Bowl weekend!
The best thing for towels is no fabric softener, use 1/2 - 1 cup vinegar instead it and it will get rid of that stinky funk 🥰✝️🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for clearing. It got me off my but to clean my food pantry. I’m watching this on a Saturday afternoon on February 18,2023.
Kim, you will be an amazing gardener! I believe it! You need a tray for the peat pots, they dry out extremely fast. Probably more so in Florida sun. Until you are ready to transplant them keep partially shaded area.
The bigger the tree pot the more water. 1 gallon water per 10 gallon tree pot, every day or so, on average what I water my trees during growing season.
From a homesteader here, once the green leaves emerge, they will more than likely die if covered by the plastic top. (From experience 😅🥴) And some of them may need soil that's more fine and soft and less mulch/wood-chip like, the tomato's especially ❤ BUT trial and error!
You’re one of my top channels to watch and listen to. You’re real and it makes me feel good too to know that it will not always be perfect and that’s ok! Keep pushing your amazing!!
Your seedlings look great! Another reason they may be getting dry so quick is because of the peat pots. They are known for drying out quicker than plastic.
Those peat pots are so hard to manage and keep from drying out! Maybe find a tray to put them in to bottom water… then the domes can be ditched to keep from frying the seedlings.
Wolfgang is adorable and your pantry looks nice. Have a great weekend. 🏈🌴
Try everything beagle seasoning on a boiled egg
😂😂😂
Good for you working out again! We have 6 chickens. And ever year we have a veggie garden. You and Alex dancing is so cute.
After more than a year my new home is almost ready on my daughter’s ranch. 🎉
Two things… Buy the Vinegar at Costco, and put it in in every load (no Baking Soda) instead of fabric softener. And keep the lid on your washer open when not in use and all will smell great! 2nd…while you have the workers at your house, get yourself the KitchenAide double oven and warming drawer that is also a slow cooker. You do so much for your family and for your CZcams friends, this will be a game changer. I don’t have it, it’s just my dream.
Time to strip your towels! Once you get them stripped, add wash soda to EVERY CYCLE! That goes for every load of laundry, not just towels. You actually need to have softened water to properly clean your laundry, and wash soda does just that! So strip those towels and keep them extra clean with the soda added to your wash every load. Adding some white vinegar will also make them soft and keep them from becoming water resistant, like fabric softener does.
Also, I think this is what you were trying to think of.
Dust If You Must by Rose Milligan
Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.
There's also this one.
Babies Don’t Keep
Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo
The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren’t his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

Great poems 👍
Kim every video: maybe tomorrow, probably not.
😂 💕 so relatable
I don't poke my eggs I just put them in and crack them on the counter pop them in the cold water whilst I peel them so much easier
Add white vinegar to your load of towels, it’ll get the musty smell out and won’t make it smell like vinegar. Also, don’t use fabric softener for towels. Made these changes and no more stinky towels.
Watching you this Saturday morning! Giving me all the motivation to get things done ❤
@thewads
I love all your videos.But yes the cleaning videos are my favorite 😍 for some reason they relax me. They do motivate me but mostly relax 😎 love your family 🥰 Meridith and Wolfgang are twins ❤️
Kim, your videos just light up my day 🌞 I literally fall over myself to click a new video.much love x
Progress over Perfection! You're garden is looking great! Keep it up and don't listen to Alex. It is a garden not a graveyard.
I clean my sink with soap and water and I just invested in disposal tablets to help with the smell our disposal has had since we moved in 2 months ago. I only use the tabs for dishwasher and garbage disposal once a month.
Kim I hope you realize how you motivate us. Watched/listened to this video while organizing my room. Also have started to work out again, although I do it at home. So happy to see the updates on the addition on your Instagram, YEAH!!!! Have a great weekend!
Kim, maybe put some planting sticks to hold some of the plants up. Tomatoes are notorious for hanging over as they grow. Bet if you could spend just a small amount of time with plants replanting maybe they’ll start growing. And yes..kids can’t tear them up. Make 1 plant for little Meredith. She can learn to plant with mommy.
Hey party people! I hope you all have a great day!!
Love that you are going to the gym, painting your nails! Self care is so important!! Especially after having a baby. Wolfgang is so sweet!! Love spending time with my friend Kim!! You are amazing to be able to do all that you do!!! Hugs 💕
I have a hand painted hopechest my mom gave me when I turned 13. It is gorgeous. Anyway, I am 54 now and my hopechest is still in perfect condition. My mommma is still here too.. win-win.
Well done Kim.... You are a Super MOM!
So good to see you this morning! I know it's so hard with multiple children. I only have 3 and it can be so hard to keep up. I will say that a routine is usually the most helpful when life is crazy. But, I know that doesn't make it easy. Still, the people that matter love you regardless of the dishes in the sink, clothes on the floor, or a forgotten guitar. These are the things that happen during a life well lived ❤
🧺if you will use white vinegar in place of fabric softener and sprinkle some baking soda every once in a while, it will freshen up your towels.
I use white vinegar in every load instead of fabric softener!
Wolfgang loves the camera....apparently!❤ That's cute that Alex spontaneously dances.
You go Girl! Woo hoo Thank you Kim!
We love you ! Your awesome!
Your so Strong! You encouraging me to get back to it!!!! Thank you
The Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is good but you have to put it in the fabric softener dispenser not the bleach dispenser. I pour extra into the wash before the washing too. Gets the smelliest out of my stinking dish towels👍🏻
Good morning Kim, I’m so happy to see you and I’m thrilled you got back to the gym✌️ I see how great you’re feeling 👍👍👍 the amount of energy you have, at any given time, is immense, you’re a whirlwind and joy, TYFS, this was fun♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Dw candle scent: Brownie Friday, oreo brownie, Italian seasoning... I'm sure all your dinners smell great.
Your cleaning videos are awesome. I watch and listen, depending on what I'm doing. It's definitely not boring. It helps motivate me to clean my house!
Since you said you were wondering: I really enjoy watching and you’re the only CZcamsr I actually REALLY enjoy listening to too :) you’re such a bundle of energy and joy it gets me pumped and motivated seeing you get stuff done and be real. I love the random short story long talks, reviews, really like the mix of cleaning, cooking smth a chatting away :) I’m not a fan of grocery halls because I live in Germany so knowing how much smth cost for you is unnecessary for me to know xD always cracks me up when you take us on a „FIELD TRIP! FIELD TRIP!“ hahaha lots of love, byebye
If Kim created a line of candles they would be called:
-Put a Little Happy in Your Day
-Hello, Party People
-Hydrate: It Purifies the Soul
-Kim’s Cleaning Service (collaboration with the wall cleaner she uses)
-Brownie Friday (brownies with a hint of whipped cream and strawberries)
-What’s for Dinner?
-The Trifecta: Salt, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning
-Good Enough
-The Woman Across the Room
-Kimberly Whisk’s Bakery
-Only Floss the Teeth you Want to Keep (mint scent)
-Fresh Herbs and Citrus (it elevates the dish)
-It’s Time to Get Your Life Together (the real ones know 😄📣)
There are so many more ☺️ Kim, we are all so grateful for you! It’s so good to see you doing the things you love and getting back a little piece of yourself. Thank you for always putting a little happy in our day! We appreciate you so much ❤️🎉🥰
Hey Kim,I was notified as soon as you posted and meant to pause what i was watching on Facebook to watch this video and then i remembered your video (shame on me) because i very rarely am awake when you post,Twice this week i was lucky to see your presence early!
Try adding white vinegar and baking soda in addition to the laundry soap to your washing machine load. Really makes towels fluffy and nice!
I’m so happy for you Kim! 💗💗💗
I watch and listen! I like waking up on T/Th/Sat and watching your videos while I wake up! Love ya Girly!
Your energy is an inspiration
Your happiness is contagious!! I freakin love it ❤
Yes let’s get this Saturday started 🥳🤗❤️
Love the clip of you and Alex....the sweetest ❤️
Seriously...HOW do you have so much energy?! I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and im exhausted all the time! Your awesome!
Same!! Yesterday my depression was at an all time high I just lay’d down most that day
This is my favorite type of videos of yours! You are an inspiration!
The flowers will turn into fruit if not picked. Make sure kids don’t pick them. Same as tomato and cucumber plants . Flowers will appear then the fruits and vegetables. Don’t water at mid day because sun will burn them by water reflecting rays. Water early in the morning and late at night where water will stay on plants longer and they will get the most of it. I always water around eight mornings and night and get lots of fruits and vegetables that way. Don’t forget to get plant food for them. It helps a lot. I had small garden but got enough for my family and serve all neighbors around me also.
I wish i could have chickens- having fresh organic eggs and being able to give vegetable peelings instead of waste and chickens have feelings the kids will get friendly with them and in time cuddle them and also the bonus of naming them. Just imagine calling Peggy sue ,Jemima, Lou lou , Bertha and Dolly😂
Hey bestie always a good start to my day when I get to hang with you!
Oh here are your DW candle scents
Brownie Friday- smells like a brownie
Kim’s cleaning service- smells like cotton fresh laundry etc
Lake house-smells like fresh air
Happy weekend!!! I love your cleaning vids Kim haha what a way to start the day
Love around the house happenings! Wishing you the best ❤
You’re teaching me how to clean 🧼 Kim, thank you 🙏🏼
